Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a reverse shoulder joint prosthesis connector. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional total shoulder arthroplasty is widely used and effective in treating shoulder osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and avascular necrosis of the humeral head. However, it has a high failure rate in rotator cuff joint disease. Although hemiarthroplasty avoids glenoid prosthesis loosening, progressive glenoid wear leads to unsatisfactory mid- to long-term outcomes. RTSA (Remotely Transplantable Shoulder Arthroplasty) is more effective in treating rotator cuff joint disease, effectively relieving shoulder pain and improving abduction ability.

[0003] Glenoid notch is one of the most common complications of RTSA, with an incidence rate as high as 56% to 96%. The main reason is that the humeral end prosthesis or metaphyseal bone impacts the lower segment of the scapular neck. At the same time, the polyethylene particles generated after the impact can cause local aseptic inflammation, leading to osteolysis of the lower segment of the glenoid neck. The main methods are as follows: (1) Lower the position of the glenoid base and glenoid ball to increase the distance between the glenoid and the humeral end; (2) Select a larger glenoid ball and an appropriate glenoid ball eccentricity; (3) Lower the neck-shaft angle of the humeral prosthesis or use bone grafting to increase the lateral displacement of the glenoid ball, so that the center of rotation moves outward, thereby reducing the occurrence of impact [11,23); (4) Tilting the ball inward at a certain angle (15° to 30°) can effectively avoid the collision between the humeral end and the glenoid during joint adduction, thereby reducing the formation of glenoid notch. The existing product requires an additional off-center ball head design, which requires more material. Therefore, a reverse shoulder joint prosthesis connector needs to be designed.
